Scientific Proof about the Chakra System (Energy Centres and Meridians)

NirmitiNidraTM
as we know it today, concatenates the tools and techniques of NLP, Hypnosis and
Meditation.NLP was primarily based on
extensive research and a study of three legendary phenomenal personalities, one
of whom was Milton Erickson, the father of modern Hypnotherapy.NLP has its roots in hypnosis and hypnosis
has its roots in mesmerism,
which in turn has its roots in the chakra system.Please read this article in its entirety.

It
is one of the lengthiest I have penned but every paragraph is interesting or
intriguing. You may also like to click

information, should you be interested.
Keep visiting this blog, where I would then connect the chakras to the endocrine system which
are primarily responsible for almost everything that you need to function as a
human being. It is no coincidence that
the bundle of neurons are maximised around the collection of glands that are
responsible for your physical, emotional and psychological health.

You
would have already familiarized yourself with the fundamentals
of the chakra system, posted earlier on this site. No online chakra test can be exhaustive or
even comparable with an expert analysis of a health issue or psychosomatic
problem, yet for the benefit of the readers, I shall try to create one in the
near future that can give you a fairly reasonable indication of major dysfunctional
chakras. Meanwhile, you can always refer
to this post which includes affirmations for balancing
all the seven major chakras.

You
must never forget that affirmations are very powerful under Nidra.
This is primarily because you access your subconscious mind, which is 30,000
times more powerful than your conscious mind, and program it. Nevertheless, affirmations
are known to otherwise effective and the only way you can know is by practising
it. Changes will be visible within a
month or so.

The
earliest written account of the Chakras are believed to be part of the Vedas somewhere
around 2,000 - 6000 B.C. They are mentioned as psychic centres of consciousness
(somewhat akin to the energy vortices as they are called today) in the Yoga
Upanishads and in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (around 200 B.C.). Whereas chakras are an intricate part of
tantric yoga and have been discussed in the Upanishads, it is generally
believed that the Buddhist Hevrajya Tantra
introduced the hierarchies as we know them today.

In
Western culture, a concept similar to that of prana (energy) can be traced back
as far as the 18th century's Franz Anton Mesmer, who used "animal magnetism" to treat disease. In 1843 the Scottish physician James Braid
proposed the term hypnosis for a
technique derived from animal magnetism; today this is the usual meaning of
mesmerism. Yet, it was only around the
year 1918 A.D. that Sir John Woodroffe, alias Arthur Avalon, popularized
Chakras through a book titled “The Serpent Power”. This extensive and detailed book was based on
two Indian texts, the Sat Chakra Nirupana and the Padaka Panchaka

The
seven major chakras attained global fame, but were viewed sceptically until Kirilian
photography proved the phenomenon of auras conclusively. Thereafter, there has been immense research,
but not as much as one would wish.

One
of the tools that is bridging the gap between Eastern Mysticism, Quantum
Physics and Modern Medicine is Electrophotonic analysis that has been gaining
more attention from scientists and researchers from all over the world. Several
decades ago, Konstantin Korotkov, Professor of Computer Science and Biophysics
at Saint-Petersburg Federal University of Informational Technologies, Mechanics
and Optics, developed a scientific device based on the ancient Chinese system
of energy meridians. It’s for measuring the bio-energy of living organisms, as
well as the environment. The device provides a painless evaluation that can
highlight potential health (physiological and psycho-emotional) abnormalities,
it’s called the GDV.

In
the GDV software programs, the glow from the different sectors of the finger
images is projected onto the shape of a human body in correspondence with the
location of the different organs and systems. It has been approved and received
registration as a routine medical diagnostic device by the Russian Ministry of
Health upon recommendation of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

A
case study done by Dr. Pradeep B. Deshpande, a professor emeritus at the
Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Louisville, which had
over 100 participants in attendance involved information on meditation,
breathing practices, love, kindness and intention.

In
this case, a healthy and balanced emotional state is correlated with
truthfulness, honesty, steadfastness, equanimity, love, compassion, gratitude,
the ability to discern truth from falsehood, spontaneous affection, and the
capacity to remain calm despite what’s occurring in the external world. An
unhealthy and emotionally unbalanced state is correlated with attachment, ego,
greed, lying, fear, anger, irritation, sorrow and more.

The
study, as I understand it, revealed consistent energy patterns amongst the
participants in a study of the energy meridians using GDV.

Carolyn
Myss, author of the book, “Anatomy of the
Spirit”, went as far as identifying the diseases associated with specific
psycho-spiritual dysfunctions in relation to the seven Chakras. In 2007, Sandra and Mathew Blakeslee
published a book called “The Body has a
Mind of its Own”. In this book, they traced the history of “body maps” from
the time of neuro-scientist Alfred Penfield.

The
word Yoga, comes from the word “Yuj”
which means to yoke or to join. It was
originally intended that the practice of yogic exercises would activate or
balance the chakras, leading not just to good health and wellbeing, but
eventually to a union with the universal intelligence, if practiced
consistently. Today, it has become yet
another set of exercises, for physical health.

Dr.
John Ratey’s book “Spark:the
revolutionary science of exercise and the brain” links the direct
connection of achieving mental fitness through physical exercise. Proving in
general that exercising the body affects the mind. Another book by Norman
Doidge titled “The Brain Changes Itself”
narrates how a woman who was born retarded succeeded in overcoming her
disabilities through exercises that involve learning how to read clocks and
tracing intricate lines. This woman (Barbara Arrowsmith) became a leader in the
study of neuroplasticity or the ability of the brain to change. This proves
that the actions of the body changes the wiring of the brain.

Yet
this has been said before by mystics from the Upanishadic period, 3000 - 4000 years
ago. It gave rise to the practice of yoga and the knowledge of the energy
centers called the chakras. Today, there
is absolutely no doubt that the mind affects the body and vice versa. What is perhaps still doubted is the
existence of the chakras. This is what
we set out to prove once and for all.

Bear
with me as I attempt to connect it together, and leave you (the patient reader)
in no doubt whatsoever by the end of this article. Prior to expounding the latest bit of
scientific research on this subject, which proves the validity of the Chakra
System, you would need to know that although there are multiple theories, there
are some items that are common:

There
are seven major and around 108 chakras or energy vortices in our body.The
energy channels are called Nadis which distribute the energy to the centres. The endocrine glands respond to the energy
that they receive from the major energy centres. The chakras are energy processing centers,
points of energy flow, and act as the major energy junctions in the energy
field. The energetic operations within them are what make every aspect of our
bodily, emotional, mental and spiritual life possible.

A
defect in the energy flow through any given chakra will result not only in a
defect in the energy provided to the endocrine glands, but will also affect
emotions, mind and spirit in certain specific ways associated with the nature
and character of that particular chakra. Defects in a certain chakra will also
often affect many other parts of the energy field—they will impair the entire
energy field's ability to process energy. This is because the energy field is a
holistic entity: every part affects every other part.

ALL
major energy therapies like Reiki, Pranic Healing, etc., as well as Alternative
Therapeutic practices like Acupuncture, Acupressure, etc. work on the above
basis. Think about it – ALL of
them. They could be different therapies
and practices but their foundation is the same.
And when you work with your mind, you heal yourself, because the mind
has a tremendous impact on your overall health and when you learn to control
and program your mind – you can control your health, emotions and wellbeing.

As
we get towards the end of this article and conclusive scientific proof that
this chakra system truly exists and is a vital part of your
aura-energy-mind-body, you can obviously relate to the western phrases as a
substitute for chakras, nadis, and so on.

Science
has been exploring bio-electrical pathways for decades. It appears they have
finally found a scientific example explains how bioelectrical pulses travel
through our body in pathways called “Meridians” (Nadis).

Scientists
at Seoul National University confirmed the existence of meridians, which they
refer to as the “primo-vascular
system. (Chakra System)” They say that this system is a crucial part of
the cardiovascular system. Did you have
a doubt?

Analysts
have long assumed the primo-vascular
system is the physical element of the Acupuncture meridian system. The Korean scientists used research done 50
years ago by Dr. Kim Bong-Han and expanded the experiments by using current
electron microscopes.

To
capture the still-frame pictures, the team used oriental medication with
biophysical techniques and injected a special marking dye which colored the
meridians. By injecting the dye onto acupuncture points, they managed to see
thin lines. These didn’t show up at
non-acupuncture point sites where there aren’t any meridians. From their findings,
the analysts learned meridian lines aren’t limited to the skin, but are a
concrete channel system thru which liquid flows, and this liquid disperses to
form stem cells.
